Couric Slanders Coulter as 'Right-Wing Tele-bimbo'

She said yesterday that her editors and publisher were all liberal Democrats and went over her quotes with a magnifying glass. Apparently they were shell-shocked by the end of the process.

Her publisher came up with the name of the book.

[Ted]

You're right, I meant no offense to short people. Sorry.

[habs4ever]

You got it! If Ann was as dry as George Will, she wouldn't get asked to be on TV. She is "hot" for this medium.

[Egregious Philbin]

What she said was that no conservative had ever said anything about other people's looks posing as real news, instead of opinion pieces. She refered to news items about Katherine Harris by libs that insulted her looks.

C'mon Ms. Coulter, that's a bunch of baloney. I remember Rush showing Hillary in a very unflattering moment back when he was on TV - over and over, as a stand-in for news (must have been a slow day.) Not to mention all the cruel stuff about Chelsea, who already had the bad luck to be their child. And Janet Reno too...

I second the motion made by a few people - Coulter looks frightfully thin.

I like Ann Coulter a lot. As a matter of fact, I have a printed copy of an exerpt from her book in my pocket right now. Gonna read it at lunch...Can't wait.

Good to hear that. I'm fond of her as well. I beleive she handles the liberals quite well considering that they try to not let her finish a sentance.

But... She's not anywhere NEAR as good looking as the Free Republically Correct around here claim. Not to bash her but her body literally reminds me of Olive Oil. She's marginally good looking at best. Her face is fairly attractive but that body....Well....YUCK!!

Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I guess. I once dated a girl that we nicknamed "Olive Oil" so that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I do think that I wouldn't throw Ann out of bed for eating crackers (as if that's going to happen). In fact, I'd probably encourage her to eat some crackers. :^)

And she's sometimes (Too much for my tastes) an embarrassment on television. She's a WONDERFUL read though.

Well, she is willing to go out on a limb, but I wouldn't call her an embarrassment. I think she shuts down the liberal news machine quite well. She does push their buttons nicely, wouldn't you think?

and as for NewsMax.com...The best thing I can say about them is that they are not as big of a joke as WorldNetDaily.com.

Newsmax is definately biased. I think that's pretty obvious. However, I don't think that their bias is any more outragous than other news outlets such as the New York Times. How many times have we heard about global warming, women's lower pay, and the like. This doesn't make what newsmax does absolutely correct, but its nice to read something (with a grain of salt, of course) that isn't pointed to the left. Gives them a taste of their own medicine.

See the interview here; (mediaplayer required)

[nutmeg]

ping!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Rush is not a NEWS reporter. He's said several times over that he's an entertainer. He doesn't write the any of the news on his shows.

[BossLady]

Agreed! I can't believe Katie put her drink down long enough to do this interview! What a joke!!!

[Mudboy Slim]

While I've not seen the catfight, Limbaugh played selected portions and perkyKatie comes off as pissy and defensive, while Ann never backed off the allegations she made in her book. Let's get these two in the ring fer some "Celebrity Boxing!!"

Ann would whup her arse!!

FReegards...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"member since June 27th, 2001"

Happy FReeper Birthday...MUD

BTW...Rush NEVER went after Chelsea...never!!

[SGCOS]

What a yawner. Cain't see what y'all are getting so worked up about. Wake me when there's something important.

zzzzzzzzzzzz

[Lancey Howard]

Perky can't even conduct an interview without lying.
How pathetic.

[Feiny]

I watched the interview this morning while doing my cardio & it was fabulous. The big phoney smile from Katie was barely covering her seething contempt. I wish I had been on the set for that one....I am sure the behind-the scenes story is even better.

[Lancey Howard]

BTW...Rush NEVER went after Chelsea...never!!

Unfortunately, Rush did slam Chelsea's looks in a rather mean way, back in Clinton's first term. He immediately realized his mistake, and I believe he even offered an apology to his audience. I know he regretted it. (Maybe somebody with a clearer recollection than me can give a better account.) In any event, he never went after her again like that.

[Lancey Howard]

What's wrong with you two?
Ann Coulter is beautiful and she is brilliant, a genius. Her writing is as clear and pointed and informational and entertaining as anything else out there today. She is the best syndicated column writer in the business.
Cripes, get a clue.

[maxwell]

If Katie married Al Hunt, her name would be K.Hunt.

BWAAAAHAHAHA!
